Flats and Handwashing Challenge- Day 3

Laundry day. And, boy, did I pick a great one for hanging my dipes out to dry. FYI- thunderstorms and tornadoes do NOT make for good laundry-drying weather! So, now my laundry is all over the dining room.

So, my sweet husband made me a camp-style bucket washer (thanks, sweetie!). We put it to good use today doing 3 loads of dipes! I learned a valuable lesson: just because you happen to have enough dipes to do laundry every two days doesn't mean you should wait that long. Only a handful of flats fit in the bucket, so I ended up washing, rinsing, ringing, and hanging for almost 2 hours! I can't help but look forward to Monday when I can go back to my washer and dryer, but then I remember how fortunate I am to have that option. I am really learning a lot from this challenge- I'm soooo glad I decided to participate!
